What a lemon the DAD3 focuser is

I bought a redcat51 with a dad3 focuser on it and I have to say it's a complete lemon. I burnt out the focuser with incorrect power and replaced the main board for a small fortune. Tonight I was going to use the scope for the first time since doing that 12months ago . Powered everything it up and 10 minutes in the focuser popped twice and white smoke drifted out of the dome. Not happy Jan. It is a complete lemon. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Just ordered a bracket for an asi eaf focuser and then found out that can't get one for quite a while.
